Re: When do the hot flashes stop????!!
 

Hi Jane!

I think tamoxifen is different for everyone. I know woman who have zero side effects and some that have all of the side effects. I have the hot flashes and muscle/joint pain. My oncologist recently took me off of it for 2 weeks to see if the pain improved, it did not, so I am going to start physical therapy to try and get my muscles working. I was actually very anxious being off of it for the 2 weeks so I think feeling that extra cush of protection is worth all of the side effects.

I did ask for a prophylactic hysterectomy and because I am BRCA -, my oncologist will not approve it.

Good Luck tomorrow! :)
